from dark red discOloration
the face presents a natural and
calm appearance. Spies body was
secretly conveyed to his mothers resi-
dence about 10 o'clock last night. The
old lady occupies the upper flat of one
of a row of seven attractive brick two
story buildings, ON Bryson street, her
number being 154. This morning there
appeared upon the front door rOSette
with
Streamers of Black
and white Grape. Just below this
rOsette was another of bright red about
six inches in diameter. All forenoon a
curious thrOng of neighborS and friends
stood on the sidewalk and in the yard
looking at the upper windows and dis
cuSSing the events of yesterday. About
II o'clock it was decided to permit those
gathered about the house to view the
body of their friend. The people were adj
mitted, few at time, through the rear
entrance. They passed with uncovered
or bowed heads through the kitchen,
sitting room and parlOr, and then i'll
single file around the coffin, retracing
their steps to the rear door. As fast as
one party made their exit another was
admitted. Care was taken not to admit
reporters in the house, the expressed
opinion of one of the male relatives be-
ing that it would go hard with reporter
if he was caught in the house. The ar
rangements for the funeral of the exc
cuted anarchists are as follows: The
procession will start from the residence
of Mrs. Adolph Fischer, No.
Dean street, punctually at noon, go
ing down Milwaukee avenue to the
house OF Mrs. Lucy Parsons, 7S5 Mil
waukee avenue, where the body of her
husband, A. Il. Parsons, will be taken
into the procession, which will then
proceed along Milwaukee avenue to
Aurora Turner hall, where the body of
August Spies will be in waiting. The
services will be held, consisting of
speeches in English and German, by
several friends of the deceased and
music by the members of the Turner's
societies. Just who the speakers will
be has not yet been definitely decided
upon. The defense committee are now
at work selecting them. At the con-
clusion of the speeches the procession
will resume its march down Milwaukee
avenue till the house of Mrs. Engel, 2S6
Milwaukee avenue, is reached. There
the bodies of her late husband, George
into the procession, which will then
ffOceeu I'D the cemetery.
The procession will be headed by the
members of the defense committee,
then will come the hearSes containing
the remains. They will be followed by
the members of the Turn Verein and
the various labor organizations thatmay
decide to join the procession. No
special order OF position in the process
sion has been arranged for them. Each
will fail into line and march in the
order in which it arrives at the APP
pointed rendezvous. Brass bands with
muffied drums will play funeral marches
while the cortege moves on to the depot,
where special train will take the
funeral party to the cemetery. There
speeches will be made in English and
German by well-knOwn orators selected
to-day by William Holmes and William
Urban. 1t is determined to make this
the greatest funeral ever held in CHI
cago if the authorities do not prevent it.
1t is understood that thirty or forty cars
will be needed toconvey the friends and
companions of the leaders to
the cemetery, and Private Sec
rotary John p. English, in
the mayors Office, is authority for say
ing that there will be no police escort
provided, as the party will be beyond
the city lines, but that the authorities
will be ready to move in case of trouble.
The city is quiet, the police vigilant,
the armOries guarded. The West side
wdl be good place to keep away from
tomorrow, and dudes with high silk
hats and gloves would do better to go to
church.

masher of pulpit fame, short, long

frenzy, great eXhorter, married of

girls of the congregation. Becoming
especially enamOred of one of them he
desired to be rid of his wife. He

on arsenic, which he gave to her until
she became seriously i'll and then with
